Heron It was nice to have visitors again last Sun- day at Burns Church and Rev. Dr. Clifton McKay was the guest minister. He took his text from Edodus Chapter 16 verse 7, 'In the Morning, then ye shall see the Glory of the Lord." It was a very helpful message that we will not soon forget. The scriptures were beaut- ifully read by Margaret Davis and Lindsay Death. Chantal and Stephen Davidchuk sang a lovely duet called, "Be a Sunbeam for Jesus' ac- companied by their mother Rita. Next Sunday Rev. Cliff Johnston of Lindsay will be the guest minister. Mr. and Mrs. David Humphrey and children, Amanda and Michael of Deep River visited with their parents, Catherine and Ernie Humphrey and family this past week. Visiting with Mr. and Mrs. W. Gardner and Jean recently were Mr. and Mrs. James Cunn- ington and family of Guelph, Mr. and Mrs. Rees Williams of Don Mills and Mrs. Irma Tripp of Port Perry. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gardner also spent a holiday with Mr. and Mrs. Rees Williams of Don Mills. Visitors with the Herons this week were Elaine and Ken Heron of Bracebridge. Another foundation was dug out for a house at the four corners of Ashburn, which makes two houses that will be going up very close to each other and it will be interesting to see which one gets up first. We are glad to report that Ann Budd is able to be home from Wellesley Hospital after having very serious surgery. Also Bill Hopkins is home from Sunnybrook Hospital. We all wish them the very best for better health. SAVE YOUR BOD VAN CAMP CONTRACTING LTD 90 Vanedward Drive.
